Fulbright Student Tells of Red Bondage Scholarships
_____*_* * *

By DOROTHY MYERS
Some of the most vivid memories
in the mind of Peter Kalinke,
Grad., as he reminisces about his
life before arriving at the Univer-
sity, are the five years he was a
German prisoner of war in Rus-
sian labor camps.,
The mild-mannered German
student, studying sociology and the
'Detroit Study' project on a Ful-
bright Scholarship, fumbles occa-
sionally for the English word to
describe his interesting, but gruel-
ing post-war experiences.
ORIGINALLY from Breslau,
capital of Silesia, (part of Ger-
many given to Poland after the
war), Kalinke went to Berlin to
study at the Humboldt Gymna-
sium =during the last war. Like
most civilians during that time, he
was given a war duty in addition
to his civilian work.
In Kalinke's case this consist-
ed of manning searchlights at
night to reveal British and
American planes which swarm-
ed over Berlin in numerous
bombing missions.I
Later he was made a war cor-
respondent for the Geman Army
and was stationed on the Eastern
front. After recuperating from a
wound received on front lines, he
secured employment in a Prague,
Czechoslovakia, radio station.
Near the end of the war in May,
1945, when German military dis-
cipline over Czech peoples was

terview with Peter Kalinke.
failing under pressure of advanc-
ing armies, large bands of parti-
sans overthrew all remnants of
German authority and gained con-
trol of Prague.
* R* s
THE FIRST women Kalinke ever
saw in shorts were ten of these
Prague partisans who arrested
him, along with all other em-
ployees of the radio station and
hordes of German soldiers sta-
tioned in the city. Kalinke de-
scribes them as "beautiful, but
brutal young women, dressed in
yellow shorts that were part of
the German African Corps uni-
form. Even today," he adds, "these
Bermuda shorts have no appeal
for me.
"We Germans spent the next
six weeks guarded by partisans
in a dank, crowded theater, nev-
er knowing what would happen
next," he recalled.
"In July of that year we were
given to the Russians, along with
20 to 30 thousand other Ger-
mans, Austrians and Rumanians,"
he said. "We were placed in, two
camps in Bucharest, Rumania, and
lived on a diet of 200 grams of
black bread daily."
AFTER A month the POW's were
coming

STUDIOUS LIFE--German student returns to scholarly life after
five years in Russian prison camps.

Scholarships totaling $5,000
apiece are being offered by the
Navy to students who can qualify
in its college training program as
regulars in the Naval Reserve Of-
ficers' Training Corps, Lt. Rich-
ard M. Davis, assistant professor of
naval science revealed this week.
The eighth in a series of nation-
wide competitive examinations for
admission to the four year pro-
gram has been scheduled for Dec.
12, 1953. Those students passing
the test and admitted to the pro-
gram will be commissioned as of-
ficers in the Navy or Marine Corp
upon graduation.
* * *
THE PROGRAM is open to male
citizens between the ages of 17 and
21 years. Lt. Davis emphasized
this would include many students
already enrolled in the University
on the undergraduate level.
Those in the regular NROTC
program are appointed Mid-
shipmen in the United States
Naval Reserve and will be given
their tuition, books, and subsis-
tence pay amounting to $600 a
year during the four-year per-
iod. Along with uniforms fur-
nished under the program, tra-
veling expenses for each of the
three summer cruises and pay
while on the cruises, the total
scholarship equals nearly $5,000.
Between each academic year the
Midshipmen go on six to eight
week summer cruises in various
ships of the fleet to provide prac-
tical training aboard ship. The
three summer cruises include one
to Europe, one to South America
and the Carribean and one Amphi-
bious and Aviation cruise in Nor-
folk, Va., and Corpus Christi, Tex.
